I've been worried too, I really hope to qualify as a semi-finalist at least! Judging from posts from last year and 2010, I'd guess that another "batch" will be sent out within this week, probably today-tomorrow-wednesday.

I received my notification today too! I'm a little annoyed that we have such a little amount of time to work on our new essays! My midterms start Tuesday, the day the applications are due! I don't know when I'll have time to work on them and study for my exams

I found out I was a semi-finalist on December 16th, so that was a while ago. But you guys shouldnt worry. They say they do them in random batches with specific deadlines for each batch. I think mine was the first batch that went out. I think you have to the end of january to find out. Good Luck!
